16 things every 00s teenager had in her bedroom
1. Boyband posters on walls AND ceilings, because if Lee from Blue ever happened to stop by your house you wanted him to know he was loved.
2. A wavy mirror from IKEA, because straight-edged mirrors were for squares. You'd have two if you were lucky, though the gap in between them was bloody annoying because you couldn't get a proper view of your outfit.
3. Inflatable furniture, because clearly you couldn't be trusted with a real chair.
4. Groovy Chick bedding (and rug, photo frame, etc) because you were sassy AF before you even reached double figures.
5. A lava lamp, despite the fact it provided little-to-no actual light. You spent hours watching that thing blob around. Utterly mesmerising.
6. A feck-load of Beanie Babies. You didn't play with them anymore or anything, but they were collector's items, weren't they, so they needed to be kept safe on your shelf. If anyone ripped those tags off you'd LOSE IT.
7. Impulse spray and the whole range of Charlie perfumes. A girl needed to smell good in year 8, amiright? That Charlie Red, though.
8. A funky bunkbed, like one with a sofa-turned-double-bed or a desk at the bottom where you could do your homework. It wasn't quite as cool as one one with a slide, but no-one can have it all.
9. An electronic disco ball, to transform your room into your own mini nightclub whenever you had ~the girls~ round.
10. That yellow TV with a built-in VHS that everyone had from Woolworths. Yours had stickers all over it because you were original, natch.
11. A pin board displaying all your gig tickets, train tickets, photos and the odd swimming certificate. It was Pinterest before Pinterest ever existed.
12. Glow in the dark stars that some of us definitely still have now. What? They help me sleep.
13. A PlayStation 1 or an N64, depending on what kind of person you were. Or maybe you were spoilt and had them both.
14. And a dance mat to go with it. You had Word Up so nailed, you could probably remember it now.
15. A fish. This served three main purposes as far as your parents were concerned: A) to give you a sense of responsibility, B) to shut you up about getting a dog, and C) to harden you up when it inevitably died within about two weeks.
16. If you weren't allowed a fish, then Sea Monkeys. They were so small you couldn't see them through the magnifying glass, but you still gave them names and cried when your brother smashed their tank and you had to watch them dissolve into your carpet.
